My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Frank for 7 nights and thought it was an ideal location to do all of the sightseeing and shopping we wanted to do. Its just a couple of minutes walk from Union Square and Maceys and a few minutes walk to the cable car.

The room was comfortable although there wasn't really any drawer space. We had a room at the back of the hotel which I was disappointed about to start with but given the noise from the traffic and sirens on Geary Street I was glad we had this room.

The staff were friendly, pleasant and helpful. There is free tea and coffee in the lobby in the morning but if you want English breakfast tea take your own. All they had, tea wise, was some herbal tea. The coffee wasn't that great, it had a artificial sweet taste.

Must sights to see are Alcatraz, found that fascinating, Golden Gate Park on Sunday afternoon and a bike ride, or walk, over the Bridge. Bikes can be hired for $8 hour.

From the hotel you can walk up to Fishermans Wharf, takes about 40 mins but make sure you have good walking shoes for the hills. The local bus service is very good and cheap. A one journey ticket costs $2 - great value. You can catch a bus outside the hotel almost to the Golden Gate Park for $2.

Food and drink in San Francisco is reasonably priced. We had a lovely meal, not cheap, at the Hotel Monaco restaurant, up Geary Street and the restaurant at the top of Maceys serves a wide range of food to cover all tastes, don't forget to try the Cheesecake.

Fishermans Wharf is a bit tacky and we are glad we didn't stay there. The sea front is full of cheap souvenir shops and Pier 39 consists of bars, restaurant and shops.

All in all San Francisco is a great city break and the Hotel is ideally siutated for sightseeing and local transport links, the BART underground is also just a few minutes walk away - ticket from airport to Powell Street stop (for hotel) is just $5.35, bargain.

We stayed in the penthouse (room 2132) for the last few days of our honeymoon. The room which is laid out like a condo - was like something out of a magazine! Very well appointed and the deep soaker tub in the bedroom felt so luxurious! It is a 3 star hotel mind you - so don't expect uber-service. We were looking for a bit more guidance on seeing San Francisco - and all they seemed to be able to suggest was a 3 hour bus tour.
We dined at the Michael Mina hotel next door in the St.Francis - which was absolutely fantastic - innovative food, expertly paired with delicious wines!

we stayed here 2 nights last month, cute updated hotel. great location.nice sized room. free WiFi.asked the concierage for a few suggestions. they did not go out their way to help but we figured everything out- would return

good location for easy access to all attractions. hotel check in was dealt with quickly the receptionist was a bit miserable ,but sid the other receptionist was okay. the rooms are very nice and comfortable clean and everything looks new. plasma tvs ,only problem is the noise which you would expect, but with double glazing would be okay. the rooms are cleaned everyday with clean towels but they dont change sheets every day if you want them to do change them you have to ask, they are on a eco drive. the resturant attached to the hotel max's on the square is quite expensive it cost 20.00 for breakfast, just across the road is leftys that is good and cheap too. hotel isdog friendly which we didnt like too much, but we asked if the room was not dog friendly. (we think it wasnt. )most rooms have been decorated and the rest of the hotel is being done but you cannot see this i just went up the wrong stairs and discovered this my self. there is wi fi connection just ask the reception and they will give you a password to get in.we did not need a car as the frank is so central but if you are travelling, the car park is 28 us dollars a day.
